September 8th 3:40 Pm I was in a Barnes and Noble looking at books in Mission Valley. The lights went out and we had to exit the store. As we made our way west on Friars rd we noticed the street lights were out and headed to Mission Valley Mall. All the stores were closed over there as well. Our phones had no service and at that time we suspected some thing wasnt right. We tried to use some payphones to no avail and headed back tot he car. Finally tuned into 600am radio station to get updates on the situation ...Powere outage from Baja Mexico/San Diego to Yuma Arizona...
Trolly stuck on the tracks with no power, the Fire Dep linked up to escort someone off the car...
Unaffected by the pandemonium of life w/out electricity/internet/phone service the lady and I noticed some spiders. One was a fury orange one spinning its web getting ready for the dark night ahead. And this orb weaver was chilling until a moth flew into its web right as i was taking this picture. Life moves on, and will do so long after we are gone...
Driving from Mission Valley to Southside San Diego i noticed a lot of people walking/bicycling around. A lot more scooters/sport bikes being used, a lot of abandoned cars on the side of the roads probably w/ no gas and a lot of neighbors talking with each other...San diegans can't drive so well especially after/durring rain. I witnessed the same affect at the stoplights. Everyone forgot how to do 4 way stops and some would get frustrated not understanding the situation. Heres a scary video of a notorious turn of road that with no street lighting and San Diegan drivers is a formula for accidents...
